The history of Western Oregon University cannot be captured
in text and physical artifact alone. The oral stories that tell of a time
past-stories that come about through conversation contribute to the thread
that weaves WOU together.

This
exhibit represents a small sampling of interviews carried out by the education
312: teachers, schools, and society class. Each student interviewed one
or two Western Oregon University graduates who attended this institution.
Even though the name of the university has changed a number of times throughout
its 150-year history, one thing remains the same. Teachers and graduates
of this institution continue to speak highly of their experience here.
